Abstract
The invention relates to a switching device for air conveyors for bottles, preforms or similar parts, which can be transported, suspended by their neck in the pneumatic conveyor, where the pneumatic conveyor presents fixed conveyor track sections. The switching device is characterized by the fact that at least one shifting device, which is shiftable with respect to the fixed conveyor track sections, is provided with at least one conveyor track section.
Description
- The invention relates to a switching device for pneumatic conveyor by means of which, in particular, plastic bottles can be transported, suspended by their neck, where the air conveyor presents fixed conveyor track sections.
- Such air conveyors are used for the transport of PET bottles. It may be necessary to change the path which a bottle takes on the way from or to different processing and work stations for bottles.
- For this purpose a rotating table switch is known from EP 0 649 804. In the case of this switch, a rotating table is provided with three tracks, where, depending on the position of the rotating table, the bottle can move from the incoming into the opposite conveyor tracks, or a bottle can be transferred from one conveyor track to the other, diagonally opposite, conveyor track.
- The drawback in this context is that, independently of the path which a bottle should take, the bottle always must pass through a curved track, resulting in instability of the bottle, even if there is no switch to a conveyor track, and in a reduction of the maximum conveyor speed and a high production rate.
- The problem of the present invention therefore is to create a switching device by means of which bottles can be transferred from any incoming conveyor track, as desired, into any outgoing conveyor track, at the highest possible transport speeds and at high production rates.
- The problem is solved by a switching device with the characteristics of
claim 1. - Because different conveyor track sections are provided, any connections can be established between the fixed conveyor track sections. Thus, it is possible to create straight connections over the entire distance between the incoming conveyor tracks and the opposite removal tracks, so that there are no limitations in the transport speed due to curved sections. As a result, for the position of the switching device where the bottle passes directly through, without being transferred, the switching device sets no limits to the speed or the capacity.
- For positioning the shiftable conveyor track sections compared to the fixed conveyor track sections, a sufficient precision must be achieved to achieve an easy transition of the bottle from a fixed into a moveable, and from the moveable into a fixed conveyor track section. If the positioning is imprecise, steps or edges are produced which can impede the transport of the bottles.
- This capacity for precise positioning is achieved advantageously by abutments by means of which an exact positioning of the moveable part at the preset abutment is possible.
- In the case of switching device with two shifting devices and a rotating conveyor track section which can rotate, all the required conveyor track configurations can be formed, where each moveable part should only be moved back and forth between exactly two different positions, which can be given by optionally adjustable abutments. Such a device is thus particularly advantageous because the high precision of positioning can be achieved cost advantageously and with low expenditures for construction, and the overall switching device can be very compact.
- Advantageous embodiments of the invention are explained below with reference to the figures. In the drawing:
- FIG. 1 shows a three-dimensional schematic view of an advantageous embodiment variant of the present invention,
- FIG. 2 shows a schematic view of the embodiment variant of FIG. 1 seen from below,
- FIG. 3 shows a schematic representation from below of an advantageous embodiment variant of the present invention,
- FIGS. 4a-4 c show schematic views from below of an advantageous embodiment variant of the present invention,
- FIG. 5 shows a schematic three-dimensional representation, of a part of an advantageous embodiment variant of the present invention.

At the external ends of the shiftingdevice 6, pleatedbellows 12 are arranged. Thepleated bellows 12 allow an air-tight closing of the openings, which could result from the shifting of the shiftingdevice 6 between the latter and abase plate 11. - To ensure the transport of the bottles in the shiftable conveyor track sections, the conveyor track sections7 a-7 d can be surrounded, each individually, or in groups, by pressurized air areas which hold them together. The latter are not represented in FIG. 1 to avoid overloading the figure. However, it is possible to supply the entire interior of the
switching device 1 with pressurized air which then affects the transport of thebottles 3 via corresponding slits or nozzles at or on the shiftable conveyor track sections 7 a-7 d. - In the embodiment represented in FIG. 1, the
shifting device 6 is shifted diagonally to the direction of conveyance, which is along the conveyor track 2 a-2 d. However, it is also possible to shift the shiftingdevice 6 diagonally to the direction of conveyance. In addition, a curved embodiment variant of the shiftingdevice 6 is also possible. - The shifting

device 6 can be carried out with a pneumatic, electric, hydraulic, mechanical or other setting devices. In this context, advantageous setting devices are those which allow a precise positioning of the shiftingdevice 6. - FIG. 2 is schematic representation of the device of FIG. 1 in a view from below. One can clearly see how, with a different conveyor track sections7 a-7 d, it is possible to achieve the transfer of a bottle from any incoming conveyor to any removal conveyor.
- FIG. 3 shows an additional embodiment variant of the invention, in which two shifting devices are provided. The shifting devices are arranged one after the other in the direction of transport, and each contains
parts device conveyor tracks sections conveyor track sections devices 6. It is also possible for more than fourconveyor track sections 5 to be present. - A particularly advantageous embodiment variant of the invention is represented in FIGS. 4a-4 c. Here, two shifting
devices devices conveyor tract section 5 which can be rotated is arranged. The rotating conveyor track section [illegible]8 is arranged on a rotating disk 10.

devices - Because, in the
switching device 1 as represented in FIGS. 4a-4 c, themoveable parts shiftable parts - FIG. 5 represents a shifting
device 6, which can be used in the device in FIG. 3 or 4. In FIG. 5, for the shiftableconveyor track section 7 d, the laterally arranged air slits 16 are represented, by means of which air can be blown laterally in the direction of conveyance onto the head of abottle 3, in order to move it. The air, which flows through theslits 16, is supplied from thepressurized air area 14. Thepressurized air area 14 here surrounds a part of, or the entire, shiftableconveyor track section 7 d. - At the lower end of each shiftable conveyor tracks7 a-7 d,
support ledges 15 are shown on which the neck 4 of thebottles 3 rest during the transport. - While, in FIG. 5, four individual
pressurized air areas 14 are represented, the pressurized air areas can also be held together for the different shiftable conveyor track sections, so that a pressurized air area supplies pressurized air for several conveyor track sections. Moreover, the pressurized air areas can also be substantially larger or substantially smaller than represented in FIG. 5. - While the connection of the shiftable conveyor track section7 in FIG. 5 is ensured by a plate, the connection can also be made by other ways, for example with braces or similar parts.
- One or
more shifting devices 6 can also be divided in the shifting direction (for example diagonally with a respect to the direction of conveyance of the bottles) into two ormore shifting devices 6 each having one or more shiftable conveyor track sections.
